Με 194 ψήφους υπέρ και 55 κατά, το ελληνικό κοινοβούλιο έδωσε – επιτέλους- το πράσινο φως στα ομόφυλα ζευγάρια τη δυνατότητα να συνάπτουν σύμφωνο συμβίωσης.

Μετά από μια πολύωρη συζήτηση, η ολομέλεια της Βουλής ψήφισε το σχετικό νομοσχέδιο καθιστώντας το επίσημο νόμο του κράτους.

«Ναι» επί της αρχής ψήφισαν ο ΣΥΡΙΖΑ, το Ποτάμι, η Δημοκρατική Συμπαράταξη και η Ένωση Κεντρώων, καθώς και 19 βουλευτές της ΝΔ. Καταψήφισαν 29 βουλευτές της ΝΔ, το ΚΚΕ, η Χρυσή Αυγή και οι ΑΝΕΛ εκτός από τρεις βουλευτές (Κουντουρά, Παπαχριστόπουλος και Ζουράρις) ενώ ο πρόεδρος του κόμματος Π.Καμμένος απείχε.

Οι απόντες από τη Νέα Δημοκρατία ήταν συνολικά 27, μεταξύ των οποίων οι Αντ.Σαμαράς, Κ.Καραμανλής και Β.Μεϊμαράκης.

Η εξέλιξη αυτή αποτελεί αναμφισβήτητα μια ιστορική στιγμή για τη χώρα, μιας και για πρώτη φορά στην Ελλάδα οι ομόφυλες σχέσεις αναγνωρίζονται συνταγματικά.

Εγίνε, επίσης, δεκτή η τροπολογία σχετικά με την κατάργηση του αναχρονιστικού άρθρου 347 του Ποινικού Κώδικα που τιμωρεί τη μεταξύ ανδρών «ασέλγεια παρά φύση»

Η βουλεύτρια Βασιλική Κατριβάνου μιλάει στο Antivirus για την ψήφιση του νομοσχεδίου

«Σήμερα ψηφίζεται το διευρυμένο σύμφωνο συμβίωσης για ομόφυλα και ετερόφυλα ζευγάρια. Όσο και αν αποτελεί κάτι το στοιχειώδες και αυτονόητο που έχει καθυστερήσει τόσο, συγχρόνως αποτελεί και μια τομή για τα δικαιώματα και την ισονομία στη χώρα μας. Είναι μια δικαίωση των αγώνων της ΛΟΑΤΚΙ κοινότητας, μια νίκη της αγάπης ενάντια στην ομοφοβία και τον σκοταδισμό. Αισθάνθηκα πραγματικά συγκίνηση όταν μια φίλη μου λεσβία, ακτιβίστρια μου είπε πριν δυο μέρες «Είναι απίστευτο συναίσθημα, ξαφνικά, ενώ φυσικά το ξέρεις, νιώθεις ότι υπάρχεις, ότι είσαι ορατή, ότι αναγνωρίζεσαι. Αντιλαμβάνομαι αλλιώς τον εαυτό μου με το σύμφωνο – θετικά όχι μέσα από τα αρνητικά κοινωνικά στερεότυπα»

Το διευρυμένο σύμφωνο συμβίωσης αποτελεί σημαντικό βήμα. Ωστόσο, η σημασία του θα κριθεί και από τη συνέχεια: αν θα προχωρήσουμε δηλαδή γρήγορα στα επόμενα βήματα, όπως ο πολιτικός γάμος και η νομική αναγνώριση της ταυτότητας φύλου για τα τρανς άτομα. Πρέπει να παλέψουμε γι’ αυτά, από αύριο…»

Greek PM A. Tsipras apologizes to the Greek homosexual community

http://en.protothema.gr/greek-pm-a-tsipras-apologizes-to-the-greek-homosexual-community/#.VnmqHVJ6_ug.facebook 


Οι Βασικοί Άξονες 

-Η προώθηση της ιδιωτικής αυτονομίας, δηλαδή του σεβασμού της ιδιωτικής βούλησης των μερών. Τα μέρη μπορούν να ρυθμίσουν τις περιουσιακές τους σχέσεις, σύμφωνα όμως με τις αρχές της ισότητας και της αλληλεγγύης, διατηρώντας σε μεγαλύτερο βαθμό την περιουσιακή τους αυτοτέλεια, εφόσον το επιθυμούν, ακόμη και σε κληρονομικά θέματα. Εάν ωστόσο δεν το επιλέξουν, έχουν πλήρη δικαιώματα, περιουσιακά και κληρονομικά.

– Η ανάγκη προστασίας των οικογενειακών σχέσεων και εμπέδωσης της αρχής της ισότητας στις διαπροσωπικές σχέσεις των μερών. Ο νέος νόμος αντιλαμβάνεται τα δύο μέρη ως ισότιμα, αλλά δεν παραβλέπει την κοινωνική πραγματικότητα που απαιτεί την προστατευτική παρέμβαση του νομοθέτη. Έτσι, ορισμένα κρίσιμα ζητήματα ρυθμίζονται με αναγκαστικού δικαίου διατάξεις. Για παράδειγμα, τα μέρη δεν μπορούν να παραιτηθούν από την αξίωση συμμετοχής στα αποκτήματα, έχουν δικαίωμα να διεκδικήσουν διατροφή μετά τη λύση του συμφώνου κ.λπ.

– Ο νέος νόμος επιδιώκει ισορροπία μεταξύ της ιδιωτικής αυτονομίας και της ανάγκης προστασίας των οικογενειακών σχέσεων, με βάση τις αρχές της ισότητας και της αλληλεγγύης. Πρόκειται μεν για μια σύμβαση, δημιουργούνται ωστόσο οικογενειακές σχέσεις μεταξύ αυτών που την συνάπτουν.

– Αναγνωρίζονται στα μέρη δικαιώματα τα οποία μέχρι σήμερα δεν είχαν, έτσι ώστε να εξασφαλίζεται η απόλαυση της οικογενειακής ζωής, αλλά και ο σεβασμός της αρχής της ίσης μεταχείρισης ανεξαρτήτως σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού.Όπως επισημαίνει και το Ευρωπαϊκό Δικαστήριο Δικαιωμάτων του Ανθρώπου, στην πλειονότητα των κρατών μελών του Συμβουλίου της Ευρώπης, τα άτομα που συνάπτουν σύμφωνο συμβίωσης αποκτούν καθεστώς παρόμοιο με αυτό των έγγαμων και πρόσβαση σε πλήθος δικαιωμάτων.

Σημειώνεται ότι η Ελλάδα είχε καταδικασθεί από το Ευρωπαϊκό Δικαστήριο των Δικαιωμάτων του Ανθρώπου (ΕΔΔΑ), επειδή από το σύμφωνο συμβίωσης που ίσχυε ως τώρα είχαν αποκλειστεί τα ομόφυλα ζευγάρια και σύμφωνα με την απόφασή του δικαστηρίου της 7ης Νοεμβρίου 2013 ο αποκλεισμός αυτός συνιστά παραβίαση της Ευρωπαϊκής Σύμβασης για τα Ανθρώπινα Δικαιώματα.

Γιώργος Κουρόγιωργας, Colour Youth

«Σήμερα είναι ημέρα σταθμός για την LGBTQ Κοινότητα στην Ελλάδα. Μπορεί να άργησε πολύ, αλλά αποτελεί σε κάθε περίπτωση το πρώτο σημαντικό βήμα για την διεκδίκηση της ισότητας στη χώρα μας. Όπως και τα παιδιά, από τη στιγμή που καταφέραμε να στηριχθούμε στα πόδια μας και να κάνουμε το πρώτο βήμα, δεσμευόμαστε ότι δεν πρόκειται να σταματήσουμε εδώ, αλλά θα συνεχίσουμε να κάνουμε σταθερά βήματα. Ας γιορτάσουμε όλες και όλοι μαζί αυτή τη νίκη, αποτέλεσμα πολύχρονης και συστηματικής προσπάθειας. Ας αξιολογήσουμε, όμως, και τη μέχρι τώρα προσπάθεια και έχοντας ως βάση την εμπειρία που αποκτήσαμε, ας επανασχεδιάσουμε τους επόμενους στόχους. Το επόμενο βήμα; Μα φυσικά η νομική αναγνώριση της ταυτότητας φύλου! Συγκεκριμένα αναμένουμε τη επαναλειτουργία της νομοπαρασκευαστικής επιτροπής για την συγγραφή σχεδίου νόμου για τη θεσμική αναγνώριση της ταυτότητας φύλου. Στοχεύουμε σε μια θεσμική αναγνώριση ταυτότητας φύλου χωρίς προϋποθέσεις και προσβάσιμη σε όλες τις ηλικίες…»

Στέλλα Μπελιά, Οικογένειες Ουράνιο Τόξο 

Χωρίς να απαξιώνουμε την ψήφιση του νομοσχεδίου αφού λύνει βασικά προβλήματα για πολλούς και πολλές εμείς οι lgbtq+ γονείς έχουμε μείνει με μια πικρή γεύση στο στόμα… Μέχρι τελευταία στιγμή ελπίζαμε ότι ο υπουργός Δικαιοσύνης θα είναι δίκαιος με τα παιδιά μας και δεν θα συνεχίσει να τους στερεί τον έναν από τους δύο γονείς τους εντάσσοντας την τροπολογία που πρότεινε ο Συνήγορος του Πολίτη και κατέθεσε στην επιτροπή το Ποτάμι (και η Δημοκρατική Συμπαράταξη;) για τη γονική μέριμνα και την επιμέλεια. Η πρώτη δικαιολογία του Γεν. Γραμματέα –όπως την ακούσαμε στο κανάλι της Βουλής -για αυτήν την τόσο άτολμη στάση «δεν ήταν στην διαβούλευση και δεν τοποθετήθηκαν επ’ αυτού όσοι συμμετείχαν σε αυτήν» δεν μας πείθει καθώς η πρόταση του συνηγόρου –και η δική μας -έγινε στο πλαίσιο αυτής της διαβούλευσης. Η δεύτερη δικαιολογία του πως ότι έχει να κάνει με παιδιά απαιτεί προσεκτική μελέτη και όχι αποσπασματικές ρυθμίσεις – θέση και στάση με την οποία δεν διαφωνούμε- χωλαίνει μόνο σε ένα σημείο: από την πρώτη στιγμή που μας κάλεσαν να συζητήσουμε –σχεδόν οκτώ μήνες πριν- θέσαμε το ζήτημα της γονικής μέριμνας και το φωνάζουμε έτσι κι αλλιώς εδώ και χρόνια. Πόσο χρόνο λοιπόν χρειάζεται ακόμα το υπουργείο και η πολιτική ηγεσία να το σκεφτεί και να το μελετήσει;

Θάνος Βλαχογιάννης, ΟΛΚΕ

Σήμερα είναι μια ιστορική μέρα για την LGBTI κοινότητα στην Ελλάδα, μια ιστορική ημέρα για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα. Από σήμερα είμαστε ένα βήμα πιο κοντά στην πλήρη ισονομία. Είναι μια μέρα που μας δείχνει πως πολλά μπορούν να αλλάξουν σε αυτήν την χώρα, αρκεί να το πιστέψουμε και να το προσπαθήσουμε. Με το Σύμφωνο Συμβίωσης λύνονται πολλά προβλήματα που αντιμετώπιζαν ως τώρα τα ομόφυλα ζευγάρια, επίσης όμως τα θωρακίζει απέναντι στην κοινωνική αδικία και γαλουχεί σε βάθος χρόνου στο να τα καλωσορίσει εκείνο το κομμάτι της κοινωνίας που μέχρι τώρα τα απέρριπτε. Με την εμπειρία που αποκτήσαμε με την όλη διαδικασία για την ψήφιση του Συμφώνου Συμβίωσης πάμε δυνατά και πιο σίγουρα για τα επόμενα βήματα που είναι η νομική αναγνώριση της ταυτότητας και ο πολιτικός γάμος. Περιμένω από αύριο να δω στους δρόμους περισσότερα ομόφυλα ζευγάρια πιασμένα χέρι-χέρι, είμαι σίγουρος πως σήμερα ανακτήσανε ένα μεγάλο μέρος της χαμένης τους αυτοπεποίθησης.

With 194 votes in favor the Greek parliament has finally given the green light for homosexual couples to enter into a civil union partnership.

Following a marathon debate, the body of the Greek parliament affirmed the relevant decree making it a formal law of the state.

This vote is undoubtedly a historic moment for the country as for the first time in the history of the nation, homosexual relationships are legally recognized.

Τhe Greek MP, Vasiliki Katrivanou

«Today is the day of the voting concerning the extended civil partnership for homosexual and heterosexual couples. Even though it consists of an elementary act and an basic right that has been continuously delayed, it is still at the same time a cross-section for human rights and equality before the law in our country. It is a reward for the social fights the LGBT society has gone through – a triumph against homophobia and obscurantism. I felt honestly touched hen a lesbian friend and activist told me two days ago, «It is an unbelievable feeling, even though you are already aware of it, you suddenly feel that you are an existing person, that you are visible, publicly recognised. I view myself differently because of the civil partnership. I view myself positively and not through all the negative social stereotypes. The extended civil partnership is a crucial step. However its importance will be judged from what is to come: whether we will move on soon to the next steps, such as civil marriage and legal recognition of gender identity for transgender people or not. We should fight for these rights, starting from tomorrow.»

The Essential Values:

-The Promotion of private independence, namely respect of the private will of the parties. The parties may regulate their estate relations, but according to the principles of equality and solidarity, maintaining a greater degree of autonomy as this relates to their their assets, if they wish, even on hereditary issues. However, if they do not choose to do so, they retain full rights, proprietary and on inheritance.

-The need for protection of family relations and the consolidation of the principle of equality in interpersonal relations of the parties. The new law understands both parties as equal, but does not overlook the social reality that requires the protective intervention of the legislator. As a result, certain critical issues are regulated by mandatory rules. For instance, parties can not renounce participation in acquisitions, are entitled to claim a diet after the dissolution of the pact , etc.

– The new law seeks a balance between private autonomy and the need to protect family relations, based on principles of equality and solidarity. The law is in fact a contract, however there is a family relationship created between those who enter into it.

-The pact recognizes to the parties involved, rights which they did not previously have, so as to ensure the enjoyment of family life and respect for the principles of equality regardless of sexual orientation. As noted by the European Court of Human Rights, in the majority of the member states of the Council of Europe, people who enter a civil partnership obtain status similar to that of married couples and gain access to a variety of rights.

Organizations comment on the voting of the law:

George Kourogiorgos, Colour youth

«Today is a landmark day for the LGBTQ community in Greece. It may have taken longer than expected, but this is in any case the first important step to claiming equality in our country. As in the case of a baby, from the moment that we have been able to rely on our feet and take the first step, we commit that we are not going to stop here, but will continue to make steady progress. Let’s all together celebrate this victory, the result of long and systematic efforts. However, let us reevaluate our so far efforts and on the basis of the experience gained, let’s redesign our subsequent goals. The next step? But of course the legal recognition of gender identity! Specifically, we expect the pre-legislative Committee that will  draft the law for the institutional recognition of gender identity to resume its sessions. We aim at an institutional recognition of gender identity without conditions and accessible to all ages … «

Stella Belia, Rainbow Families

Without undermining the voting of the Bill as it provides a solution for key problems for many, ourselves as  lgbtq + parents are left with a bitter after taste… We remain hopeful that even at the last minute,  the Minister of Justice will be fair with our children and will not continue to deprive them of one of their  two parents,  by including the amendment proposed by the Ombudsman and submitted to the committee by Potami (and the Democratic Alliance?) for the parental responsibility and guardianship.  The first excuse of  the Secretary General – as heard on Parliament TV-for this very timid stance «was not in consultation and were not placed thereon by those who participated in this» we are not convinced as the suggestion of counsel – and ours – took place in the context of this consultation. The second excuse,  that whatever  has anything to do with children requires careful study and not individualized actions – position and stance with which we do not disagree with -apart from one point: from the first moment we were invited to discuss – almost eight months ago-we raised the issue of parental responsibility and have been campaigning on the subject for years. How much time does the Ministry and the political leadership need to review and study the matter?

Thanos Vlachogiannis, OLKE

Today is a historic day for the LGBTI society in Greece, a historic day for human rights. From today we are one step closer to full equality. It is a day that proves to all of us that many things can change in this country, provided that we all believe in change and try our best. The civil partnership pact, resolves many problems that same sex couples faced until today, it does however also shield them against social injustice and makes it smoother in the long term for them to be accepted as part of our society by those that have until now rejected them. With the experience gained with the process for the adoption of the Pact, we move stronger and bolder to the next step which is the legal recognition of civil marriage. From  tomorrow, I expect to see in the streets more same-sex couples go hand-in-hand, I am sure that as of today they regained a large part of their lost confidence.

Greece becomes 26th European country to

 recognise same-sex partnerships

http://www.pressenza.com/el/2015/12/simfono-simviosis-ora-dikaiosis-kai-xaras/

Greek parliamentarians approved a new civil partnership bill today which will legally recognise same-sex couples for the first time.

• 
  

Posted: 22 December 2015

ILGA-Europe send their congratulations to all the LGBTI organisations and politicians who have contributed to this historic result. Among 249 present parliamentarians, 194 voted for and 55 voted against this law.

The concept of registered partnership had existed in Greece since 2009 but was only available to heterosexual partners; this was declared discriminatory by the European Court of Human Rights.  As a result of today’s vote, same-sex couples will now benefit from various rights and protections that were previously only enjoyed by married couples. These protections include inheritance but the new law does not include the ability to apply for joint adoption. The bill also extends greater anti-discrimination protection on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.

“This is the realisation of years of political promises. Successive Greek governments had talked about legally recognising same-sex couples and I’m thrilled to finally see these positive words translated into meaningful change for couples in Greece.” said Joyce Hamilton, Co-Chair of ILGA-Europe’s Executive Board.

Evelyne Paradis, Executive Director of ILGA-Europe, commented on the result: “This is also the culmination of years of civil society campaigning and advocacy work. The passion of the Greek LGBTI movement was palpable at our recent Annual Conference in Athens – this result today is a reward for that conviction.”

Following Syriza’s pre-election pledge to recognise same-sex couples, a bill was published in June. A revised draft of this bill was released by the justice ministry in November.

At ILGA-Europe’s 2015 Annual Conference in Athens, Minister for Justice Nikos Paraskevopoulos reiterated the government’s commitment to passing the civil partnership legislation. The minister made public assurances that the bill would be opened for consultation within days of the conference.

In addition to this, representatives from all the main parliamentary parties signed a detailed equality pledge, which included a promise to improve the law on legal gender recognition. It’s critical that the government starts to make progress on these issues and ILGA-Europe look forward to working with the Greek government in 2016 on the outstanding concerns mentioned in that document.

 Grecia, ok parlamento a unioni civili

Ritirate però disposizioni che avrebbero permesso adozioni

Il parlamento greco ha approvato a larga maggioranza una legge che legalizza le unioni civili per le coppie omosessuali, due anni dopo la condanna della Grecia da parte del tribunale europeo dei diritti umani per discriminazione.

In un risultato annunciato, i parlamentari hanno votato 193 a favore contro 56 contrari al disegno di legge per estendere le unioni civili alle coppie dello stesso sesso.

Disposizioni in materia di diritto di famiglia che avrebbero potuto aprire la strada ad applicazioni di adozione da parte di coppie omosessuali sono state ritirate prima del voto.

Yunanistan sivil partnerliği onayladı

Çarşamba, 23 Aralık 2015

Haber: Kaos GL

Yunanistan Meclisi, kilisenin ve muhafazakar milletvekillerinin baskısına rağmen eşcinsel çiftler için sivil partnerliği onayladı.

Yapılan oylamada, 249 milletvekilinden 193'ü evet oyu verirken, 56 milletvekili karşı yönde oy kullandı.

Tsipras: “Utanç verici uygulamalar sona erdi”

Yunanistan Başbakanı Aleksis Tsipras, yasanın onaylanmasının ardından yaptığı açıklamada “İnsan hakları için önemli gün, yasanın geri kafalılık ve utanç verici uygulamaları sona erdi“ ifadelerini kullandı.

2008 yılında iki çiftin yaptırdığı sivil partnerlik kaydı, bir yıl sonra yargı kararıyla iptal edilmişti.

Yunanistan 26. ülke oldu

Yeni kabul edilen yasayla birlikte Yunanistan Avrupa’da LGBT beraberliklerini kanunen tanıyan ve kabul eden 26. ülke oldu. Yunanistan, AB içinde eşcinsel çiftlerin resmi partnerliğini kabul etmeyen sayılı ülkeler arasındaydı.

Yasanın onaylandığı saatlerde meclis önünde toplanan LGBTİ aktivistleri, “Aşk günah değildir” sloganı ile meclis önünde bekledi..

Yasa yalnızca sivil beraberliği içeriyor ve evlat edinme hakkını kapsamıyor.

Syriza’nın vaatleri

Syriza’nın LGBT toplumuna vaatleri ise şöyleydi:

Eşit evlilik

Syriza’nın kuruluş konferansında alınan karara göre, Syriza eşcinsel çiftler için evliliğin tam ve eşit haklarla kurumsallaşmasını desteklemiştir ve bu duruş değişmemiştir. Ancak evlat edinme konusunda önceden belirlenmiş ortak bir karar bulunmamaktadır. Syriza olarak evlat edinmenin genel çerçevesinin sorunlu olduğuna inanmaktayız. Halihazırda revizyon ihtiyacı hakkında konuşmaya başladık. Bu bağlamda eşcinsel çiftlerin evlat edinme meselesini incelemekteyiz.

Cinsiyet kimliğinin ameliyat şartı aranmaksızın tanınması

Cinsiyet kimliğinin Yunan devleti tarafından tanınması ve translara belgelerinin cinsiyet geçiş ameliyatı şartı aranmaksızın verilmesi yönündeki ihtiyaç, ülkemizdeki LGBT toplumunun çok önemli meselelerinden biridir ve bizim temel vaadimizdir. Bunun bir öncelik olduğuna inanmaktayız.

Yasal değişiklik

Temel duruşlarımız arasında cinsel yönelim ve cinsiyet kimliği temelli her türlü ayrımcılığın ortadan kaldırılması bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, cinsel kimlik temelinde ayrımcılığa ilişkin hükümlerin açık olduğu bir yasal çerçeve değişikliği temel vaadimizdir.

Öğretmenlere eğitim

Öğretmenlere ve okul çalışanlarına yönelik uygun eğitimler verilmesi, okulların düzgün işleyişi ve tüm kimliklerin saygı gördüğü bir okul ortamının temin altına alınması için temel şartlardan biridir. Bu doğrultuda, Syriza okul çalışanlarını bilgilendirmeye ve eğitmeye yönelik önlemlerin alınmasını ve öncelikli olarak insanları bilgilendirmeye ve ayrımcılıkla etkili mücadeleye yönelik bir medya kampanyası oluşturulmasını hedeflemektedir.

Nefret suçları

Yeni ırkçılık karşıtı yasanın nefret söylemine karşı hükümlerinin etkili bir biçimde uygulanması, ülkemizdeki homofobik saldırı ve nefret suçlarıyla mücadele için yapılması gerekenlerin en azıdır. Syriza, bu hükümlerin uygulanmasını desteklemektedir ve ilgili yapılarla işbirliği halinde yasal çerçeveye uyumlu hale getirilmesini temin altına alacaktır.

Cinsel eğitim

Zorunlu eğitim müfredatında uygun eğitimi almış öğretmenler, modern kitaplar ve her türlü cinsel ifade ve cinsiyet kimliğine gönderme yapan cinsel eğitimin yer almasının ülkemizdeki homofobiyle mücadelede hayatî olduğuna inanmaktayız. Bu doğrultuda çalışmayı ve özel önlemler almayı vaat ediyoruz.

ГЪРЦИЯ КАЗА ДА НА ЕДНОПОЛОВИТЕ ДВОЙКИ

22.12.2015

Късно тази нощ гръцкият парламент прие историческа поправка в закона за гражданските партньорства, която премахва дискриминацията по признак сексуална ориентация. Гърция стана седмата държава в Източна Европа, даваща на еднополовите двойки права, сравними с брачните. Преди нея това направиха Чехия (2006), Словения (2006), Унгария (2009), Хърватия (2014), Кипър (2015) и Естония (от 2016).

След пет часа речи от парламентарната трибуна, малко след 23 часа депутатите пристъпиха към гласуване. Предложението беше прието с 194 гласа ЗА и 55 – ПРОТИВ.  Това е голяма победа в страна, където Православната църква все още има голямо влияние.

През 2013 Европейският съд по правата на човека (ЕСПЧ) осъди Гърция за дискриминация спрямо еднополовите двойки. Съдът постанови, че законодателите трябва да изменят закона за гражданските партньорства, от който в момента могат да се възползват единствено хетеросексуалните хора.

След няколко години лобиране, лявата партия Сириза внесе дългоочакваното предложение по-рано тази година.

По време на обсъждането много от гръцките депутати носеха значки със знамето на дъгата.

Законът за гражданските партньорства не предоставя всички права, на които се радват двойките в брак. Той урежда въпроси като данъци и наследство, но напълно пренебрегва родителските права, например.

Дори тези ограничения обаче не бяха достатъчни за анти-гей групите в гръцкия парламент, които до последния момент неуспешно се опитваха да прокарат отровни поправки, осакатяващи закона. Те настояваха да отпаднат всички права, които двойките получават от страна на държавни институции, в това число данъчни и осигурителни облекчения.

По-рано днес активисти в Солун проведоха акция в подкрепа на новия закон. Снимка: Facebook

Министър-председателят Алексис Ципрас коментира, че вотът “затваря дълъг период на примитивизъм и срам за гръцката държава”. В своята реч по време на парламентарния дебат той допълни: “Това бе период на отричане и маргинализация на голяма част от нашите съграждани, на които им бе отказвано да живеят заедно и да се радват на свои основни човешки права”. Премиерът каза на законодателите, че този ден “не предполага празненства, а извинение” към хората, които досега са нямали човешките права на гражданите в много други развити правни системи.

“Този закон трябваше да бъде приет преди години”, заяви той преди гласуването.

Докато депутатите обсъждаха закона, стотици се събраха пред сградата на Парламента в Атина в очакване на резултата от гласуването. Повечето бяха настроени оптимистично и с нетърпение очакваха добри новини, но едва ли много от тях са останали до обявяването на резултата, което стана около 1:00 часа през нощта.

Скорошната смърт на популярния гей актьор Минас Хацисавас показа на Гърция защо еднополовите двойки имат съвсем реална нужда от правна защита. По време на погребението му на 2 декември, неговият партньор Костас Фалелакис се обърна директно към гръцкия премиер: “Това е послание към министър-председателя. Бях с Минас в продължение на 25 години, но в болницата не ми беше позволено да прибера тялото му”.

HUGE.BG попита няколко гърци какво означава събитието за тях.

За някои то има голяма символна стойност. “Днес се почувствах сякаш съществуването ми най-накрая е признато на институционално ниво”, отговори активистът от Солун Апостолис Карабаирис, 33.

Други очакват с нетърпение практическите ползи от новия закон. 37-годишният IT-специалист Гиоргос Цирос сподели: “Партньорът ми, който е от държава извън ЕС, най-накрая ще може да получи разрешително за постоянно пребиваване!”

Алехандро Килмпасанис сравни движението за равни права с откритието, че Земята е кръгла. “Като вековете, изминали между твърдението на Галилео и първите сателитни снимки на Земята, ще отнеме време, докато обществото ни приеме еднополовите двойки с нужното уважение. Този закон обаче е страхотна първа стъпка към една по-справедлива Гърция, където гей двойките знаят, че имат защитата на закона”, каза 27-годишният мъж.

България е една от едва седем държави-членки на Европейския съюз, които не защитават по никакъв начин еднополовите семейства. Останалите са Италия, Латвия, Литва, Полша, Румъния и Словакия.

Greece allows civil partnership for same-sex couples

Greece late on Tuesday enacted a human-rights' bill which allows civil partnership agreements between same-sex couples despite protests and opposition from political parties and the powerful Orthodox Church.

A growing number of European countries have established legislation allowing registered partnership rights for same-sex couples, including Britain, Spain and Cyprus, but the issue remains contentious in many other EU states.

Although Greece allowed such agreements for heterosexual couples in 2008 it excluded homosexual couples, a move which the European Court of Human Rights ruled discriminatory in 2013.

On Tuesday, 193 lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament voted in favour of similar rights for gay and lesbian couples.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who has promised social reforms to mitigate the negative impact of an EU/IMF bailout, said the bill closed "a circle of embarrassment for the state".

"This is a great moment, not only for the LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex) community, but also for legal equality in Greece", Vasiliki Katrivanou, a lawmaker with Tsipras' leftist Syriza party, told parliament.

"But what is worth discussing is ... that it took us so long, that it took all these struggles", she said adding the bill should pave the way for same-sex couples' civil union, which has been Syriza's pre-election promise.

The draft law was approved by the socialist PASOK party, the centrist to Potami party, the Union of Centrists and several conservative deputies but was rejected by some lawmakers from Tsipras' right-wing coalition partner, the Independent Greeks.

Their leader and Defense Minister Panos Kammenos did not appear for the vote, which was completed after midnight.

Dozens of supporters rallied outside parliament as lawmakers debated the bill. In a symbolic move, two gay activists in clerical dresses kissed outside Athens' Metropolitan Church, in front of a banner that read "Love is not a sin".

The bill does not allow same-sex couples to marry or adopt children, as in other countries, and does not give them similar pension, tax and health rights, gay and lesbian activists said.

"We want this civil partnership, but we want it in full," said activist Dimitra Kyrilou, a civil engineer.

The bill was also rejected by the Communist party, the far-right Golden Dawn party whose leader said "church bells should toll mournfully across the country", and the Orthodox Church.

"People of the Church believe in a certain lifestyle", said Archbishop Ieronymos. "Anything outside this is a diversion."

But Syriza lawmakers said that some people "prefer to turn a blind-eye to reality" and that "darkness was defeated".

"It's about the oldest story in human relationships. Two people love each other and want to be together but they are constantly faced with hurdles", said Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos, who had a rainbow badge pinned on his jacket.

"The Greek state must not stigmatise people."
